Sir Paul McCartney has blasted reality TV shows such as The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity because he reckons they humiliate people and take over TV scheduling.

The veteran singer told The Sunday Times that reality TV shows are “crowding out more creative programmes.”

“You can’t turn on the telly without somebody being judged by four people, whether they are on ice, or on the stage or in the jungle” he said.

“It’s compulsive viewing, but so is a traffic accident.”

Sir Paul, 66, also revealed how happy he is to be in a new relationship with Nancy Shevell, 47.

“I just like being in love” he told the paper.

I guess we won’t be seeing a show called At Home With Paul anytime soon then…
